Battery in Socal

Anyone know where I can get a battery for the Fit(2007) for a good price? I got the car in July from carmax and I've only put 2k miles on but they refuse to cover it under warranty.. so now I'm looking for a good price on a battery... The one I got is defective and needs to be replaced asap....... any help is appreciated!

Costco has really good on price and coverage on their battery....if you are looking something better then OEM.

yeah i tried costco,sears, pepboys, autozone, and kragen and still nothing, no one carries it yet. I did talk to a guy from Napa and he said that if i could find out the volt size or serial on the battery he could maybe try to match something up from what they carry... the only prices I've gotten is from dealerships... nothing under $115.00

from everything I have read, the 51R is a drop in for our Fits

If you have AAA. call and buy it from them, they will come out and put it in for you and under their warranty they will come out and replace the battery for you if it ever dies before the warranty is up. just another option for you..

does that mean I can just find something similar with the same volts?? Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by "drop in"

I thought about that but AAA usually marks up their parts and If the battery is over $100 at the dealer then the last thing I need is AAA trying to rip me a new one... Damn!! the car hasn't been moved in 1 week...
